X–Men Explorer v.02

Age of X-Man

2019

In the wake of the Disassembled storyline, Nate Grey reshapes reality into a utopia where mutants are the dominant species — but love, family, and personal attachments are forbidden. The X-Men are scattered across this false paradise, living manufactured lives while cracks in the illusion slowly reveal the dystopian truth underneath. A thematic prelude to the Krakoan era that asks what paradise costs when it demands you give up what makes you human.
